“Fun learning, friends and instilling good citizenship principles are top of mind when I recall my days in 4-H”

Everyone Plays a Vital Role in Leaving a 4-H Legacy!

Eight years ago the 4-H Legacy Dinner & Auction was begun in an effort to create a formal annual event where local 4-H alumni and supporters could come together for an evening of fun and fellowship benefiting the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment. To conduct such an event each year, it takes the cooperation and support of many different individuals and businesses. One of those groups of supporters are the contributing sponsors that generously donate funding and services that allow for the comfortable evening everyone enjoys when they come together in celebration of 4-H Youth Development.

This year is no different as several have already committed to contributing sponsorships for 2018. Included among those are Continue reading Everyone Plays a Vital Role in Leaving a 4-H Legacy!
